Aviva Premiership: Harlequins 11-19 Saracens
In front of a sell-out Twickenham
crowd, it was a top-of-the-table London derby at the home of English rugby as
reigning Aviva Premiership champions, Saracens, took down the previously
unbeaten, Harlequins.
David Strettle, who was forced off the
field with injury during the game, scored what was, in the end, the crucial
try. After four penalties from England hopeful, Owen Farrell, Saracens made 19
points in the first half whilst Harlequins produced just six.
Joe Marler reignited the exhausted
Quins side with a second half try but along with a Nick Evans penalty, it wasn’t
enough to overthrow Saracens.
